BACKGROUND: Sepsis is an important disease that endangers human health and is the main cause of death in ICU patients, which has been a focus of clinical treatment. This study aims to evaluate the significance of the readily available quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) score in clinical cases of sepsis. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study of patients with sepsis treated in the Department of Infectious Diseases, the Affiliated Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2015 to December 2016 was conducted, and the patients were divided into a high-score group (≥2 points) and the low-score group (<2 points) according to the diagnostic criteria for sepsis (Sepsis 3.0). The differences in disease outcome and inflammatory indicators were compared between groups. RESULTS: A total of 74 patients with sepsis were included in this study. When the cutoff qSOFA score was 2 points, the patients in the high-score group showed a higher mortality rate (71.43%), and the patients in the low-score group showed a higher improvement rate (87.76%). The inflammatory indicators did not show statistically significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: The qSOFA score can better predict the prognoses of non-ICU patients with sepsis compared with traditional inflammatory indicators. Clinicians should raise their awareness about qSOFA and improving its accuracy.
